How to Create a Quiz Lesson

Quiz lessons are a powerful way to engage students, reinforce learning, and assess understanding in your course. Onlinecoursehost.com gives you flexible options to create questions manually or generate them instantly with AI. Follow these steps to set up a quiz lesson for your course.

This guide walks you through:

🔹 Setting up a quiz lesson (lesson titles, descriptions & AI enhancements)

🔹 Adding questions (manual entry or AI generation)

🔹 Advanced options (prerequisites, free access & grading)

Let's get started!

Step 1: Add a Quiz Lesson

1. Click "Add Lessons" in your course editor.
2. Enter a lesson title
3. Select "Quiz"  and click "Next."

Step 2: Configure Quiz Settings

A pop-up window will appear where you can:

  You can also choose between:

Please note that if you choose to create the quiz manually, you have the option to write the quiz questions and add multiple-choice answers yourself.

On the other hand, if you opt for the Generate Quiz feature, the AI tool will generate the complete quiz based on the information you provided earlier, as well as utilizing specific details from your course.

If the AI generates the full quiz for you, you can also manually edit the content generated by the AI.

Step 3: Manually Edit Quiz Details

Once the quiz lesson is created, it will appear in your lesson editor. To manually edit your quiz lesson:

1. Click on the quiz lesson to expand its settings.
